Really? Because mine's not, and I have a stockpile of 10 to 20 at all times, and I know better. Yours is flaking all over your face, so I am going to guess that either it's old or it's not a good formula for you — so either way you need a new one.
Don't feel on the defensive when your makeup artist suggests a new $32 Chanel mascara. She is offering you the very best option that she loves, but you can always admit that you don't want to spend a lot on mascara, and that you love your Great Lash from the drugstore.
No good makeup artist will argue with that. However, you should definitely be conscious of how old your mascara is. It is a breeding ground for bacteria after three months, and chances are it is pretty dried out by then anyways. Treat yourself to a new one quarterly to avoid trouble.
